I have been asked to create some questions that may be asked at a 2nd interview of a candidate for a library media specialist position. I am thinking others may have insights and can contribute to this list.

Provided HERE are some I thought of on my own (in bold print), as well as some potential answers. I will share this with my principal who may appreciate the suggested answers, since she and the panel interviewing may not know what would be an appropriate response. Of course my own biases affect my answers. So I open the wiki to anyone else who wishes to add content. Feel free to add questions and potential appropriate answers so I can share this with my principal.

Please note this is for a second interview, so the list of candidates has been narrowed to a smaller number. The initial interview questions (which I wasn’t given) have already been asked. This interview is to give our team more insight into a candidate and determine how well he or she fits into the school role of LMS, particularly at our school.

The questions here are in no particular order. Any and all suggestions are welcome. You may edit the wiki itself or make recommendations here in the comment. This is collaboration at its best.

PS – My principal said not to stack the suggested questions with technology type questions–she doesn’t want to scare off any of the candidates, and she said it is not fair to compare their skills to mine. I guess that was a compliment?
